New Images and Links
17
May
I get bored at work and to keep from losing my mind I search the net on all my interests. Last night it was Flynn and I was successful.
The first link is for an event that happened a few years ago but the article contains a photo that is huge, meaning of high quality (2.42mb!) and could be blown up to poster size. It is a shot from Captain Blood and I have never seen it before. I don’t find images that big very often. This one is not included in the photos posted since the file is so big so you have to go to the link. I hope you have not seen them. This always makes me think how many others there are.

I remember reading that The Case Of The Curious Bride may be lost? Here it is, just follow the link.

Can you spot. Errol

May
Hi all
It is Albera ST Schools 100th centenary .And they are having a large day to celebrate this. We have been sent 2 pics 1 is of the school class and 1 I believe is of the dancing school he attended at the theater Royal. The dancing teachers name is Miss Lola Smith if this helps. Now comes the hard part do any of you recognise Errol in these pics as to help us add to the information we can give the school as Errol was attending Albera St at this time. And as the teacher said he is the most famous person to attend the school . Love Genene.

Maybe I should ashamed of myself but I have never seen it other than some easy bits on YouTube. Never sitting down to watch it straight thru. I wanted to do it properly and also my buddy said he would watch it with me if I ever purchased it. I have been surprised by many of his later films on how much I enjoyed them. My only guide for years was “The Films Of Errol Flynn” by Tony and Rudy and they were very hard on his later films. I wish Rudy would update it with some revised and expanded reviews. Any way my question is who here owns this copy or any copy and can you advise me about it.

Another Movie Bio Dud At Cannes!
15
May
The reviews trickling out on the modestly budgeted Last Of Robin Hood have so far not been good. However the expensive, big-budget, grade ‘A’ production of Grace Of Monaco was screened at the International Cannes Film Festival. The reviews for this film which stars Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco are bad. In fact Kidman’s performancce is accused of being as frozen as her botox-enhanced face.

Being Jipped On DVD’S
14
May
I am a fan of setting my Blu Ray player (Panasonic) to zoom so the older films fill the screen. At times it cuts the heads off the actors but once you get used to it its great and turns the film to wide screen. It does not work for Blu Ray films but that’s ok because you are seeing the actual image the way it is supposed to be unlike std DVD’s that cut off the sides a bit. I notice that with my zoom feature you can see more image on either side some more than others. Its not a huge difference but its there and I wonder why? Has anyone else tried this and if so let me know so I know its not just my player. The full image is there its just not showing up. As a side note I am also a big John Wayne fan and wonder are there any others here? I would have loved to see them work together in a film. I wonder if there is a photo of the two of them together?

The dark bro`of Ivanhoe

My dear fellow Flynn fans,
there recently was talk of Errol`s coming-of-age movies “Against all Flags” and “Master of Ballantrae” here on the blog. Now I wonder who of you has seen the swashbuckler`s swansong:”The Dark Avenger”? It is said to have its moments even though a visibly weary Flynn is battling through an English vehicle that evidently jumps on the Black Knight bandwagon. Is that so? Here is the trailer: www.nytimes.com… . Links with the flic on the net seem not to be working. “O´how dark the con of man…”

The Errol Flynn Mailbag!
11
May
Hi Errol Flynn Blogsters,
I am a teacher at Albuera Street Primary and we are having our centenary celebrations of the Albuera State School later on this year. I’ve read on your blog about Albuera and Errol’s attendance there. Some of the corrections have made it much more accurate.
I don’t know what you have about his time at Albuera but would really appreciate anything you have to share. I am intending to have some of my students (Grade 5/6) research him and put on a bit of a display (of the things primary school-aged kids can read about and see!). Again, anything that you could point me to, or indeed if you are Hobartian-based, to come and have a chat with us about, would be brilliant.
I was looking at the sparse, but obviously accurate, enrolment records of Errol Leslie Flynn and it shows the terms he was at the school, the days attended and the line written about him when he left: “Gone to Sydney”. I don’t know if it was meant as a “Thank goodness he is gone!”
Cheers,
Grant Williams
